Tropical Maho Bay at St. John in the US Virgin Islands - USVI.

Via Flickr:
Maho Bay, which is just a few bays to the east of the famous Trunk Bay, is a bit more secluded and has beautiful sandy beaches and plenty of great snorkeling opportunities. A vacation here was just what we needed.

Natalie's New Hair Cut - Smiling with Braces

Via Flickr:
Natalie's hair had grown to the middle of her back and had been wanting it cut for quite awhile. Imagine my surprise when mother and daughter return from a joint shopping trip and she has her hair cut. It looks cute. I photographed her this morning before going to church for our Easter Sabbath service.

Strobist: SB-900 with diffusion cap in place into a Alien Bees 64" Silver Parabolic Light Modifier (PLM) with the white diffusion screen cover on positioned at camera right. SB-800 into Wescott 43" white shoot through umbrella to the left and slightly behind her aimed in between her and the white wall that was 3 feet behind. SB-600 into Impact 45" white shoot through umbrella camera right and slightly behind her aimed in between her and the wall. Triggered with pop up flash of the Nikon D7000 in commander mode with Nikon SG-3IR IR Panel in front.
